Subject: Using advanced CAD features

In addition to being compatible with AutoCAD, CADdirect goes several steps further by providing you with innovative features to increase your productivity.

Using CADdirect’s Explorer

The CADdirect’s Explorer has an interface similar to the Windows Explorer, allow­ing you to view and manage the elements of multiple, open drawings, such as layers, blocks, linetypes, views, user coordinate systems, materials, text styles, and more.

Editing multiple documents simultaneously

With CADdirect, you can open and edit multiple drawings simultaneously. You can also copy and paste elements between open drawings.

Editing multiple entities

CADdirect allows you to change most of the properties of all selected entities using a single, tabbed dialog box.

Using the CUI dialog box

CADdirect has a single dialog box for changing ribbon tabs (if your CADdirect ver­sion supports them), toolbars, menus, keyboard shortcuts, and command aliases. You can also use the drag-and-drop method to customize these user interface items. The simple, point-and-click action lets you easily create new items and keyboard short­cuts—no programming or manual text editing required.

Performing unlimited undo and redo

CADdirect increases your power with unlimited undo and redo of editing actions.
